The agencies, that sent the most tourists to Vietnam, are from China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, as well as Europe, North America and Australia.
The December 2 ceremony, jointly organized by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines in Hanoi, was attended by more than 250 delegates representing airlines, hotels and travel agencies.
The event also aimed to introduce Vietnam’s tourism development policies and new travel services. It was also a good chance for travel agencies to meet, exchange experiences, and discuss cooperation opportunities.
Prior to the ceremony, delegates from these travel agencies went on fact-finding tours to Hanoi and Ha Long.
In the first eleven months of 2011, Vietnam received 5.4 million foreign visitors, an increase of 17.8 percent against the same period last year. It is estimated that 5.5 million foreigners will visit the country by the end of the year, earning about VND110 trillion.
Vietnam called for more support from international travel agencies to help reach its goal of attracting 7-7.5 million foreign visitors annually by 2015 and 10-10.5 million by 2020.
